Railroads and Harmony.

Mitchell REPUBLICAN: we near u
said often that with the building OF
north and south lines OF railroads the
two sections Of Dakota will be brought
closer together and one OF the reasons
for division will disappear. There has
been through line to Fargo for two
or more years, and for year past there
has been continuous line from lank-
ton to jamestown, and yet on account
OF the rivalry between the roads no
connections are made, and 1T is SUN
necessary to go from one end OF Dako-
ia to the other via st. Paul. The argu-
ment is not weighty one either way
but wlat heft it has goes to prove that
Dakota is too big.
Yankton Press: Railroads cannot
Join together which the Lord hath put
asunder. Latitude and isotherms ca1-
not be overcome by artificial routes OF
Accommodation. Lines OF trans
portation between the two sections are
valuable for the exchange of commodi-
ties and the travel necessary in the
performance of business. They can
never be used as political link and as
such would make Of Dakota as marked
monstrosity as the two Siamese VINO
were bound into unwilling and unnat-
ural companionship throughout life.
We remember the time when Dako-
ia as whole lived in happy harmony.
1t was when the great plains were ten
antless and the coyote was monarch
of all he surveyed. There were then
no north and south railroads and no
east and west railroads. With the oc-
cupaucy of these vacant plains and the
construction Of railroads the conflict
between north and south began and
has since grown in intensity as popula,
ton has increased and as more miles
of railroad have been built. Instead
Of curing, railroads aggrayate the con
dition, whether they run north ant
south or east and west.

Barnum's Successor.

spent the season among the wild fast
nesses of the Turtle Mountains where
the mountain lion hath its lair, and
where ofttimes the untamed conven-
tion proxy from a unorganized county,
is captured and put into the harness,
Snowman Green bethought him of a
choice collection Of native novelties
that might be gathered into one grand,
consolidated aggregation of marvels,
and put on exhibition. Hc went to
work and as the first result of his en-
terprise two handsome cinnamon bears

understood that they will be followed

as the genuine article, having been
told by an old settler what it was. The

ably take the road about New Years.

Stores of Bottled Sunshine.

A remarkable popularity of the life
these modern days is the discovery Of i'm
mense cellars of bottled sunshine For,
speaking unconventionally, how can we
better describe our coal fields? From these
we obtain heat, light and force, by fires,
gas and steam engines, to wonderful eX-
tent AT present we use this in very
wasteful fashion. And rs q rule we do not
get per cent. of the energy stored in the
coal we use. At recent trial of steam
engines one was able to use 12 per cent. of
the energy stored in the coal it burned,
and that was thought Il remarkable result.
The great problem evermore is, at which
shop can we get our sunshine most cheap
ly? Direct solar power can only be had
very occasionally, and the cost of bottling
is high. Water power can only be had at
certain places, and hence often leads to
expenses which prevent it being economi-
cal. Similar is it with wind power Horse
power is dear; the growth of the food of
the animal, his stable and attendants run
into money. AT present coal power is the
cheapest Electric machinery is not q
source; is is only IL medium; not u bottle,
but n glass, from which energy is con-
sumed. 1t needs power to produce an
electric current Its value in the convey
ance of energy is very great; so that in
time it may prove II cheap way of getting
sunshine to work.-Christian at Work.

Lacey Gets His Freedom.

Attorney Ii. g. Preston returned
from Sioux Falls Saturday afternoon
accompanied by John Lacey, whom he
has succeeded in getting pardened
from the Sioux Falls penitentiary.
Mr.. Preston has been at work on this
case for some- time, and has made a
trip or two to Bismarck in connection
with it in the past few weeks. Dillon
u Preston were the attorneys for
Lacey when he was tried for murder
in this city five years ago. The latter,
as may be imagined, Is happy at his
good fortune, and it will probably be a
long time before he forgets the tenn
perance lesson of the past five years.

Wrench in a Printing Press.

A perfecting press, such as most leading
newspapers are printed on, is an expensive
and intricate piece of machinery. The
cost runs up among the thousands of dol
lars, and it consists of many delicate parts
nicely adjusted. AT the same time it
exerts tremendous mechanical force
when in operation, and is not /; thingto be
trifed with. Imagine the sensations OF Il
leading publisher one day this week, when
ne saw an iron wrench go crashing
through his press, following the path de-
signed for u single thickness of paper. 1t
was the fault Of n careless pressman, who
had started the machine without remov-
ing the wrench, which he had been using.
In an instant, so rapid is the motion of
these presses, cylinders were broken,
wheels twisted out of shape, thousands of
dollars of damage done and, most aggra-
waiting of all, the wrench came out unin-
jured.-New York Commercial Adver-
